## What is Harlo?

Too many streaming services and still nothing to watch?

Harlo helps you decide what to watch before you turn on the TV.

Instead of endlessly scrolling, debating, and forgetting recommendations, Harlo makes deciding what to watch fast, fun, and social—so when it's time to watch, it's time to press Play.

Discover movies, series, and documentaries through trusted creators, friends, expert curators, and AI that learns your taste over time. Save anything that catches your attention the moment inspiration strikes, so the decision is already made when you're ready to watch.

BULLSEYE
Need something now? Bullseye gives you one personalized pick, with a quick line on why it fits you—ready to watch tonight.

UPSTREAM & DOWNSTREAM
Your UpStream is everything you're excited to watch next. Your DownStream remembers what you've watched—and how much each title actually meant to you. The more you use Harlo, the better it understands your taste.

HARLO TOP FIVE
Pin your five all-time favorite films and series to the top of your DownStream. Drag to reorder anytime, and see your friends' Top Fives on their profiles.

WATCH PARTNERS
Pair up with up to three friends. Say you're in on the titles you both want to watch, then pick one for tonight together.

TAKES
Watch short recommendations from trusted creators, friends, and Harlo CJs. Real opinions. No spoilers. Just quick reasons why something is actually worth your time.

COLLECTIONS
Build and share themed collections like Movies I Rewatch When I'm Sick, Documentaries That Changed How I Think, or Hidden Sci-Fi Gems. Discover great entertainment through people whose taste you trust.

FRIENDS
See what your friends are saving, watching, and recommending. Borrow great taste from people you already know.

AI CHAT
Ask naturally—or tap the mic and just say it:

* "A documentary that'll wreck me in the best way."
* "An underrated French thriller from the '70s."
* "A quiet series about aging."
* "What should I watch after Past Lives?"

Harlo's AI responds with thoughtful recommendations shaped by your taste—not generic popularity lists.

ONE TAP TO WATCH
Tell Harlo which streaming services you use, then tap once to open a title directly in the service where it's available. Less searching. More watching.

A SAFE COMMUNITY
Report and Block controls help keep Harlo welcoming, thoughtful, and spoiler-conscious.

PRIVACY
Harlo personalizes recommendations using what you save, rate, and watch in the app. AI Chat requests your consent before using your activity or sending prompts to Google's Gemini. When you talk to Harlo, your speech is turned into text on your phone; no audio leaves it. Friend matching is optional and hash-based—your address book is processed on your device and is never stored on our servers. Harlo never uses your precise location or biometric information.

Harlo exists to eliminate entertainment indecision.

Decide before you watch.

When it's time to watch… it's time to press Play.
